This 50 millime stamp pays tribute to the historic contribution of the Arab world to the scientific heritage of humanity. The iconography, showing an open book glowing over a world map, evokes the golden age of Islamic civilization where disciplines like algebra, astronomy and medicine saw major advances. By celebrating this heritage, Tunisia reaffirms its cultural identity and its role as a bridge between ancient knowledge and modernity, recalling that the quest for knowledge has always been at the heart of the region's development.
